With special tours of Ball State University's
Archives and Special Collections
from 11:00am to 12:30pm

Strategic planning is
an essential management tool for all archival programs. The barriers to
creating and implementing a strategic plan can seem insurmountable to solo
and small-shop archivists. This workshop will provide an overview of the
strategic planning process from the perspective of small archival program
management, emphasizing relationships and community-building, both within and
outside of the archival program's parent organization. Participants will have
time to begin work on strategic planning documents for their own archival
programs.
